Description
Arranged in the dense columns of an amped up pseudo-skald, Middlemost Constantine tumbles through time in an attempt to recollect and recreate moments of deep connection between estranged beloveds, who, separated by centuries, still transmit to each other through the ether that some faint signal might return. Whether via vulgate fever dream, fun house fairy tale, or pastiche mythology cobbled on the spot, Middlemost Constantine confronts the reader with the inevitability of mortality—no matter how extended—and the undeniable persistence of love.
